Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi all! (Intro time)

Hi ladies! I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. Once upon a time I was perusing the WWW of TTC information and stumbled upon TB. After reading through a few threads on this board I admit, I was instantly scared off!
But then, out of boredom, I kept poking around…
And what do you know… I learned some stuff. And then I learned some more. I even got to the point where I’d see a new topic title and think, “Oh this dumb B is gonna get tore up!”
So now I’ve read the “Guidelines” & “If you could tell a newbie anything” threads. I’ve recently downloaded FF (in addition to the 3 other Apps I had on my phone), ordered BBT, and TCOYF. I figure now that I’ve gotten a wee bit of education, it’s time to muster up some courage and brave the waters of posting!
So, here’s a little about me & how I got here:
My name is Kristen. I am 34 and DH is 35. We got married last October, and stopped preventing that month. We didn’t more seriously start TTCing with the help of a couple of Apps on my phone OPKs until Feb. Last week I had my annual appt with my OB/GYN at which I let her know are now TTC. She said that since I have PCOS and my age, she’d like to refer me to another dr. I have an appointment set up for next week.
These days I feel a bit like I’m living in 2 week increments. But also keeping my head up and knowing that this is all just part of the process. (And really trying to keep baby fever in check, even though my fridge is covered with birth announcements and 1 year old bday parties!) AF showed up for her visit over the weekend, so I’m going into this new cycle armed with new tools and hoping to stay positive.
Seeing as it’s hard to talk TTC with everyone IRL, I’m hoping to make some friends and fit in here!
